York's Martin Library will make an exception about libraries being quiet this Saturday, when they welcome Kolo Club Marian for two dance performances.

The Kolo Club, created to preserve the Croatian folk dance of kolo, takes its name from the Marian Year of 1954, a year-long Catholic event declared by Pope Pius XII. 1954 was also the year that a Franciscan priest and four women organized a team of teens and young adults in the Steelton area to celebrate their Croatian heritage - and that tradition continues to this day.

Group leader Rick Vukmanic will provide commentary and answer questions about the show, following the presentation of traditional Croatian song, dance and clothing styles, as well as a showcase of eastern European culture presented by the Susquehanna Folk Music Society.
